Tickets are available at the door but its best to reserve ahead of time to ensure seating.

What You Can Expect
The shows will take place in two 40 to 50 minute sets. David's usual set up includes 15-20 quartz crystal bowls, 8-10 Paiste Planet gongs, a vibraphone and an assortment of other tuned percussion instruments. Nothing is amplified, pre-recorded or rehearsed. Each set and performance is sonically pure and unique (visit http://www.crystaljourney.ca/video.html to see some past performance video clips). David records the shows on his high quality portable recorder and can make that recording available to you along with the evenings art print from Eden Martin(http://www.edenartjourney.ca) who paints while he plays. You can purchase CDs and other merchandise at the shows with cash or cheque or online with a credit card.

We invite you to take a seat or lay down as close to the instruments as possible to get the greatest effect. Remember to bring a yoga matt, blanket and/or pillow as most venues will have floor space to lay down. Chairs for regular seating are also available. Where possible we encourage you to share rides and car pool. It not only saves gas but helps to reduce our carbon foot print on the earth and traffic.
